Black dude got locked out of his house. He started to try to work his way inside, via breaking in by kicking the door down. Neighbors saw this and called the cops. Cop showed up, was going to arrest him. Black dude shows the ID and says it's his house. Then he starts freaking out saying the cop is racially profiling him, calls his mother a whore or some shit like that, and then the cop takes him in for being a public disturbance and freaking the fuck out on a cop and insulting him, etc. Black dude stays in jail overnight and is released, then demands an apology from the cop. Cop says fuck no, he didn't do anything wrong.

Obama goes on and says the entire police department there were being stupid (he's tight with the dude apparently)

This is one of those Rashomon moments where everyone says something else so no-one's really sure that's true.

How the hell do you misquote Barney of all people. "and I'll buy you a beer"?!

Why not just say "Hello Gordon. Please be meeting with myself at a later time so that we may both partake in the drinking of alchoholic beverages that of which I shall purchase of my own accord for us both". It's "Hey, catch me later I'll buy ya a beer". Barney's too cool for propper english.

Good Obama.

That's not "Propper" English, it's just redundant and stupid. "That of which?"

Continue overlooking the fact that the man who was arrested was also a close personal friend of Obama's.

It's just because the man was black. Srsly. Fuck any other relationship, just note their races.

I don't give a shit about Obama's friends, and neither does the rest of America. Just because he's President doesn't mean I want to hear about how his friend got arrested. It's not his job to be lead gossiper of the US.

someone asked him about it bro

i mean i'm kinda interested in what the president thinks about social issues too

just because you are white and you don't see white people being discriminated, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist

The media was already talking about it before Obama said anything about it. He quite likely would have said nothing of it had nobody ASKED him about it.

I lol'd a bit too hard at that picture. But on topic, why does Obama need to have two butthurt men over for beers? I mean, it's cool and all, but why does he need to do it?

He's doing it because he's a friendly president that actually takes the time to engage in conversation with the community at his own accord, unlike most other bullshit presidents who do it for the publicity.

Gates has a chip on his shoulder and feels like he needs to get attention.
Simple as that.
Obama also feels that blacks are supreme and the white man is bein' oppressive.
Why this situation has been clouded and misconstrued leads me to suspect the liberal media, again.

It's a liberal conspiracy i tells you

THE white holocaust is nigh, please dear snuwoods, lead us in this time of great peril.

Obama and his communist black arab comrades and the liberal media are going to come kill all us white people. QUICK, we must take the snuwoods approach: shove our heads up our asses and listen to only fox news, that'll save us from the liberal blacks.

This is how politics should work. Call the guy up, apologize for calling him stupid on the air, and work shit out over a couple of brewskis. Admittedly it's kind of stupid that an incident like this has to get the president involved, but it's pretty cool to see him handle the race issue in a casual and intelligent way, instead of Al Sharpton's method of bitching about whitey.

"oh hai i herd there was a break in here"
"No this is my house and here are two official IDs that say who I am and I have pictures up everywhere and the lock was only broken"
"wtf thers a monky in hear i shut you paow poaw"
"omfg u racist"

What I heard is that they both acted inappropriately. Gates did in fact show proof of ownership of the house, but also was screaming and yelling and whatnot. The cops also lashed out and everybody was yelling and screaming and the cops got pissed off and arrested him.

That's what I heard. It came from my parents, which is a... less than reliable source of information.

If it's true, they both fucked up and they OUGHT to get together for a beer and settle things. The fact that the motherfucking president of the United States of America is inviting them for the beer just makes it awesome.
